Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night
There is an excellent chance that my naivety holds great influence over many of my life views, but Christmas is still an amazing time of year in my eyes. I do understand the negativity that many people hold towards it. The greed, the commercialism, the glorifying of questioned religious happenings, the bizarre traditions involving pine trees…

Inspiration Doesn’t Knock
It’s rare thing (for me, anyway) for life to throw such a bizarre twist seemingly out of no where. It’s like being struck by circumstantial lightning. My life tends to be quite tame, especially if you’re considering the stereo-typed musician life style involving rampant adventures and wild after parties. An exciting show for me usually means the…

Tip of the Hat: Flavor of the Week, with Lindsey and Lauren
First edition of my planned to be monthly acknowledge to other musicians/artist who have done me well or earned my respect. The honor goes to “Flavor of the Week”, the bi-weekly radio show hosted by Lindsey and Lauren. Flavor of the Week is one of the shows broadcasted by the Edinboro University college radio. I was introduced to…

Expanding and Honoring
In having this blog at my disposal for a few months now and beginning to see that people actually visit it (to which I thank you greatly for), I’ve devised an excellent use for aside from simply updating the universe on what is that I’m doing and thinking at any given time. Many people have and…

Writer’s Block: The Eternal Struggle
I’ve recently put something new together. Well, more accurately, out of the variety of things I’ve attempted to put together, I’ve recently found something that stuck. I very rarely produce completed songs as regularly as I’d like to. I suppose that’s good in a sense; I have no desire to finish songs simply to say I…

Letting Off Some Steam
This is really just a means of dealing with some anger right now, though I sincerely hope I’m not alone as performer who’s bothered by this. Maybe I’m just not as good at taking it in stride. I can’t believe how oblivious some people can be towards public performances. They come, they sit in front of me,…

Ready to Fall (demo), Ready to Go!
So I ended on the decision to go with lower standards for actually getting the demo together. Still have the high quality recordings completed with the help and charity of Kit Dietz and Dan Canalos and the excellent work on the album by the skilled photography, Matthew Gray. The demos are simply recorded to blank CDs. No…

Delays
Frustrating circumstances in attempting to get this new demo up and running. I have the recordings, I have the album covers printed and ready, the only thing that remains is the actual CDs. To be fair, this is the first time I’ve ever attempted to order custom CDs to sell, and I really had no…

Singing Like a (insert genre here) Star
This stemmed off of a conversation I had recently along with several times before with various people. So many music legends are reknown (for better or worse) for their style of singing. Whether its Elvis, Roy Orbison, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Rod Stewart, Joan Baez, etc… you can usually tell its them as…

Ready to Fall (Demo) On Its Way
I’ve recently had the chance to record the first few songs of the planned upcoming album “Ready to Fall”. The current plan is to have a demo containing the four songs within the next few weeks. After that, it’s simply a question of time leading to when I can complete the other recordings, though I…
